  • Gilford Schools Move Forward with Reopening Plan
    THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, 2020 GILFORD, N.H. Gilford schools move forward with reopening plan BY ERIN PLUMMER [email protected] The Gilford School Board approved a plan for re- opening schools this fall and now the district is pre- paring for what the school year will look like. On Aug. 4, the school board approved a plan pre- sented by Superintendent Kirk Beitler on reopening schools including giving parents virtual and in-per- son learning options and a number of safety proto- cols to protect against the spread of COVID-19. Beitler said the board overall approved the plan overall, but did change the plan regarding when stu- dents would all be in the schools. The plan proposed that different grades come to school on a staggered schedule between Sept. 8-11 with the plan of having all students in the buildings by Oct. 5. The school board, however, agreed to change that and have stu- dents in the schools by Sept. 14. The board approved the plan at the end of a four- and-a-half-hour meeting. Beitler said there were a lot of questions about what they would do to keep kids safe and maintain safety. He said it seemed like a lot of people seemed anxious to get the students back in the schools. More details would be discussed at the next meet- ing about athlete safety, performing arts, and more finer details about the reopening plan. Parents have been asked what learning model they prefer for their children and will have the op- portunity to make that decision into the first trimes- FILE PHOTO ter of school.

The area provides a unique mix of family-owned restaurants, historical landmarks and museums, local artisans, and, most prominently, a variety of outdoor activities that allow residents to appreciate the beautiful introduction outdoors all year round. Some notable trails that avid hikers and bikers in the state enjoy are the Cotton Valley Rail-Trail in Wolfeboro, Gunstock Mountain Trail in Gilford, Mount Major in Alton, the WOW Trail in Laconia and Highland Mountain Bike Park in Tilton. Gunstock Mountain also offers skiing, snowshoeing and tubing in the winter. Other winter activities popular in the Lakes Region include snowmobiling and ice fishing. The region offers countless snowmobile clubs that allow residents to take consistent rides with a group of their friends. As for ice fishing — the Lakes Region has many contests that allow kids and adults to test their skills for a chance to win prizes. Many attractions in the area also exemplify residents’ love for the outdoors. There are a plethora of farms, orchards and sap houses in the region that produce fresh products that can be picked up on the spot as well as supply many of the nearby restaurants. Locals also love to enjoy arts and crafts that are made locally, which are often inspired by the wildlife that is observed in the area at the gardens, sanctuaries and local parks.
